“He has worked with a lot of them in three dance films. He was very concerned about how the dancers are managing their livelihood. He promised to help them and try and address their problems,” he said. 

Meanwhile, earlier this month, several reports claimed that even Shahid Kapoor has extended support to dancers by transferring money into the accounts of 40 Bollywood dancers. For the unversed, Shahid also began his career as a background dancer. 

Talking about the Kabir Singh actor, Raj Surani said, “Shahid Kapoor recently transferred money to the bank accounts of dancers he has worked. He has extended support to around 40 and has stated that he will help them for the next 2 to 3 months.”

“We shortlisted dancers from the days when he started his career with Ishq Vishq. It has been 17 years and they are in a bad condition, they may not be working right now. Apart from them we have even included those dancers who worked with him in Dhating Nach, Shaandaar, and Agal Bagal,” he added.
